A gentleman spotted this typo on literature he received from the doctor’s office. Oops-a-daisy, where’s the “h” in “Rescheduled”?
It looks like a slight case of phonetic spelling. The “sch” prefix sounds like “sk” here. Besides “schedule,” here are some other words that fall into that category:
- School
- Scheme
- Schizophrenia
It’s tricky because the following words have the same “sch” prefix, but have the “sh” sound:
- Schlep
- Schmooze
- Schnitzel
English is strange, huh? The good news is that spell-check will set us straight with all of these.
Happy reading and writing, my friends!
